Also, remember the different types of flexibility: Static, passive, and active. Just because you can nearly do the splits does not mean you will be able to perform a quick high kick!

Hmm, this TKD practicioner and definitely been practicing the sport version, going for all those flashy kicks and not enough hand techniques. This is why TKD gets bad press, through these people training for sport.

Thanks again, I've been really training hard for it, I think I might take some time off now, especially now that I've found out that my darling cat is really ill, breathing problems, and may not live to see next week

thanks for all your kind kind words I passed! I passed with flying colours and got a helluva lot higher mark than I could have possibly expected. Thanks for all your support ppl :smile: Anyway, sleep, :sleep: Speak to you, well, on tuesday? hehe, bye

Well, I am going for my Tae Kwon Do grading tomorrow, green belt, going for a shower and stretching and an early night tonight, and plenty of coffee and carbo's tomorrow... wish me luck! I'll need it

Most likely

Sai, whats this MS ailment you speak of? care to explain to me?

Kickchick, you said compare weight in a few weeks, well one week has passed and I've gained 2 kilograms in weight, I think mostly in muscle,

As Chris said

Welcome, I hope you have a good stay here The other Jack

It all depends on how young these children are, if they're really young they'll love the witch thing, but if a bit older, then they probably started worrying about "cool" and they'll think the witch is "lame" Don't get me wrong, its a good idea, just the audience could receive it in other ways than you'd expect

Moobrack, you may have been going overboard I'm eating a bit more its doing me well, mabye you've shocked your system more than it can cope with? Well, best of luck with your training

Jet Li Bruce Li/Lee Michelle Yeow Royler Gracie Mike Tyson

Surely Bruce Lee vs Jet Li would be a more evenly matched contest

1) Fitness 2) Flexibility 3) Self-Esteem 4) Ability to protect myself and others 5) Meet new people 6) I am fascinated by the rich cultures of these far eastern lands, I'm pretty sure I would read a lot about them even if I did not do Martial Arts.

I was going to suggest excactly the same as nat has. Work through the move step by step, slowly, and as you get the balance and the experience, speed it up

Yep, Grappling and the like is very good with arm locks, wrist locks, other locks, chokes, takedowns, etc. Would suit your 'good body manipulation' skills pretty well

lol, which Jack do you mean? This could become confusing

Kicker, yes, lowfat... Basically you're eating more, but eating more of the healthy stuff. So if you do weights, then more of the protein from this goes to help you gain more weight in muscle after working out. However, some will be left to gain as fat. If you really want to gain lot of weight in fat, you should reconsider

Wahey, another Jack on the forums Welcome, I hope you have a pleasent stay here

Karate sounds good too, if you dont have to kick high

Don't take what I say as hard fact, but mabye you would like to try out a grappling art?

Thanks Kickchick some good snacks there for me to check out! And Sorry about writing down what I'm eating and when, that was just the initial excitement which is dying down now

Well I had Muesli and toast and raisins and milk for breakfast, now having a glass of water and about to go down shop to get a nutri grain... laters
